“…For an isolated nanosolid or a complex consisting of highly dispersed nanosolids, the measured lattice constants are often found to contract while for a nanosolid embedded in a matrix of different materials or passivated chemically, they may expand [149]. For example, oxygen chemisorption could expand the first metallic interlayer by up to 10e25% due to the penetration of oxygen atoms into the interlayer spacing for tetrahedron formation [3].…”

“…The lattice constants of an isolated nanosolid or a complex consisting of highly dispersed nanosolids are often shorter [58,59] than that of the bulk while for a nanosolid embedded in a matrix of different materials or passivated chemically, the lattice constant may expand [60]. For example, oxygen chemisorption could expand the first metallic interlayer by up to 10-25 % due to the penetration of oxygen atoms into the interlayer spacing for tetrahedron bond formation [61].…”

• Surface consisting of a few number of atomic layers forms the skin of a substance.• The skin shell forms a high-density phase that is more elastic, stiffer, chemically and thermally less stable with entrapped electrons, and subjective polarization.• Bond relaxation happens only in the skin in a radial way. The extent and depth of bond relaxation increase with surface curvature.• In placing with the conventional concept of surface free energy, the energy density and the atomic cohesive energy in the skin region determine the performance of a surface.• BOLS notation holds for defects, skins of solids and liquids, as well as molecules in gaseous phases. Skin Bond Relaxation Monolayer RelaxationThere has been huge database of skin bond contraction for flat surfaces (Table 12.1 and Fig. 11.2b). Atomic undercoordination-induced bond contraction derived interlayer relaxation and intra-plane reconstruction are common. For instance, LEED and DFT revealed some 10 % reduction in the first-layer spacing (d 12 ) of the hcp (1010)

In this work, new chiral and luminescent TiO2 nanomaterials are prepared by a single step nonaqueous synthesis. Using circular dichroism spectroscopy it is shown that TiO2 nanoparticles are optically active with almost identical mirror images of one another in the band‐edge region of titanium dioxide. Investigations of the photoluminescence properties reveal a broad shallow trap state emission centered at 440 nm, with a photoluminescence quantum yield of ≈3.5%, which is among the highest reported for TiO2. Electron microscopy reveals the TiO2 nanostructures to be dendritic aggregates measuring 30–50 nm in size composed of smaller nanorods of 3–4 nm in diameter.
